The platinum plated pencil extender with a build-in sharpener is a perfect adjunct to the pencil. It allows you to carry a pencil around in your shirt pocket literally. With the eraser under the cap, one has everything all built-in: for writing, correcting and sharpening. Wonderful invention! Highly recommended for one who is passionate about everything a pencil can do to doodle, to sketch, to write and to create.
About Graf von Faber Castell
The legacy unveals from the idea of enclosing a thin graphite lead in a wooden casing was several hundred years old; it was not new when the ancestors of Faber Castell founded a pencil factory in 1761. It was only when the great great grandfather of Baron Lothar von Faber, who took over the family firm in 1839, was the first to turn the pencil into a genuity quality product of functionality and the world's First Brand Name writing implement.
Standards for the length, diameter and hardness of pencils; standards which apply till today. He was credited for creating a series of fascinating products which continued to set an example of Simplicity and Design.
